2016 Audi Q2
Stylish Suv Will Start From £20,230 For A 1.0-litre Tfsi Turbo Petrol
The Supermini Crossover Market Is Booming. Popularised By The Nissan Juke, The Latest Addition Will Come From Audi In The Form Of The Q2 And The Company Has Now Announced Prices And Specs For The Smallest Model In Its 'q' Range.

The Audi Q2 Will Begin At £20,230 For A Car In Se Spec, Fitted With The 1.0-litre Tfsi Petrol Engine And A Six-speed Manual Gearbox. These Base Cars Come With Audi's Mmi Multimedia Infotainment System As Standard, Along With 16-inch Alloy Wheels And Heated And Electrically Adjustable Mirrors. 'sport' Trim, Priced At £1,550 Over Se, Adds 17-inch Alloy Wheels, Adjustable Driving Modes, Cruise Control, Auto Lights And Wipers, And Sports Seats.

An Additional £2,250 Over Sport Trim Gets You S Line, Which Adds Styling Additions, Larger 18-inch Alloy Wheels, Led Head And Taillights And Brushed Aluminium Inlays In The Interior.
The Q2 Range Tops Out For The Moment At £30,610, Which Will Buy You A 2.0-litre Tdi With Quattro All-wheel-drive, In Range-topping S Line Trim.
With Its 'floating Blade' C-pillar, Plenty Of Colourful Trims And Finishes And A Youthful Market To Appeal To, The Q2 Is What Audi Describe As A Trojan Horse - Introduced To Get New Customers Into The Brand And Used To Buying Audis. Those Customers Will Have A Choice Of Four Engines - 1.0 And 1.4-litre Petrols, And 1.6 And 2.0-litre Diesel Engines, With Power Outputs Ranging From 113bhp To 148bhp. There Will Be A Choice Of Six-speed Manual Of 7-speed Dual Clutch Automatic Gearboxes

Fortunately, There's A Hot Model In The Pipeline, As An Engineer Let Slip On Our Exclusive Preview Event. We're Expecting Both 's' And 'rs' Models To Come, Both With Highly Tuned Turbocharged Engines, Although There's No Indication Yet If The Storming Rs 3's 362bhp Five-cylinder Can Fit In The Q2.
The Q2 Also Gets The Option Of Variable Damping, With A 10mm Lower Sports Suspension Kit Available Too. All Cars Get A Variable Steering Ratio, And There's Five Driving Modes Including An Off-road Mode. That Raises The Ride Height To 200mm And Adjusts The Drivetrain For Rough Surfaces.

As Our Geneva Show Gallery Reveals, Styling Influence Is Drawn From The Crosslane Coupe Concept Displayed At The 2012 Paris Motor Show, But The Design Has Matured From A Two-door Suv Coupe To A Swoopy Five-door In That Time. It’s The First Car Overseen And Signed-off By Design Boss Marc Lichte, Who Joined In 2014 And Has Been Relishing The Chance To Truly Make His Mark On One Of The Brand’s Models.

The Q2 Is 4.19m In Length (around 12cm Shorter Than The A3), 1.79m Wide And Just Over 1.5m Tall (10cm Shorter Than The Q3). It Also Weighs From A Relatively Light 1205kg. It’s Still Unmistakably An Audi In Profile, But The Q2’s Overall Design Brief Was To Join The A1 In Attracting A Younger Clientele To The Carmaker.

Colour Schemes Will Also Be An Essential Part Of Creating The Youthful Image Audi Is After. There Will Be 12 Body Colours Offered At Launch, A Well As A Big List Of Options For Customisation Inside And Out Including A Two-tone Roof And Coloured Dash Inserts. It’s Been Specifically Designed To Counter Criticism That All Audis Come In Dour Greys, Blacks And Blues.

Audi Q2 Interior Design
Step Inside The Cabin And Things Are A Bit More Familiar. It’s Similar In Overall Look To The Current A3, But Also Incorporates The Latest Multimedia Tech From The New A4, Including The Optional 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit Display Replacing The Standard Dials. A Standard 5.8-inch Mmi Central Infotainment Screen Sits Atop The Dash, While The Upgraded System Brings An 8.4-inch Unit. Both Are Controlled Via The Familiar Rotary Dial. The Q2 Also Gets A Unique Led Ambient Lighting System That Sees Light Projected Through The Panel Gaps In The Dash, With Different Designs For Day And Night.

Space Hasn’t Been Neglected In The Q2’s Desire For Style. There’s Reasonable Space For Four S In The Back (even A Six Plus-footer As Our Images Show), Although The 405-litre Boot Is Quite A Way Behind The 481-litres Offered By The Mercedes Gla. Audi Makes The Most Of The Space With The Option Of A 40/20/40 Split-folding Seat.
